socks 32,253 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Its one of the great British myths ... People think that if your special forces you must be hard as rock ... Mentally yes ... Physically fitness and endurance wise yes ... Toe to toe no ... You can learn hand to hand and you can obviously learn to look after yourself better but you can't put minerals in that are not there ........ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Many SF lads won't be battle proven. I get that. My only point was your average para or SF probably ain't gonna be an easy fight. If I was gonna pick someone to fight based purely on their profession, para or SAS trooper would be near the bottom of that list! Librarian/software engineer somewhere near the top. LOL. It's all very well saying we'd murder the b*****d. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 If you see someone abuses your kid do you stand there and think hmmm maybe he has a weapon? Lol dunno about you lot but ill see red and we'd be going at it although i admit not the sensible thing to do like i said. You using a weapon on me for example ill go hospital and have time to lick my cuts and think about how im gonna get ya back. Ill plan it n make sure no CCTV is about and all that bollocks. You noncing my kid lol different ball game, there is no sensible head if someone does that. My old neighbour watched his step dad give his mum a good hiding and done f**k all. Pulled him on it days after cause it didnt sit right with me. He told me "i didnt wanna fight him as he was in the kitchen and he'd stab me" who the f**k would think that seeing someone lay a finger on their mum lol. As for hard men in the army :/ think gnash said it about boxing places opening up of along the same lines. In the army you'll get blokes who'll be hard and all that no doubt. Someone who's got it in em though is probably gonna learn in life they can earn a far better wage doing other stuff and get involved in stuff not in the army. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Truther 1,579 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Makes me laugh when people think gays are soft, some are like, but i know a few that could really scrap, like the old man once said "they get picked on so learn quick" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I would say you can't judge a person and if they can have it based on their job....BUT I've had a bloke who served us earlier in tescos threaten to shoot us lol type of bloke who takes orders about where the beans go aint gonna be the type to let it off. It dont matter what someone does of how they act...as a man if you see one of your kids being abused and you don't go to kill the c**t well your just as weird to me as a gay bloke because i wouldn't understand how someone could keep their cool with that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In that situation I would think a parent would have the upper hand mentally......it wasn't until my son was born that I realised I was capable of killing someone.....fear is a great equaliser & I'd fear nothing if you hurt my son.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,831 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Bloody hell, seems my suggestion that a soldier from a relatively elite regiment might statistically be a tough f****r to kill is being taken a bit out of context... Unless someone knows more than is in the news, nobody can say that the dad didn't fight. And sure as shit nobody can say they would have killed him. They might very well have tried. All I was saying was that a para is probably capable of holding his own, by his very nature, so thinking that the old man should have been burying the f****r is a bit naive. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rabbit demon 302 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 There wouldnt be any hand to hand crap if someone came in my house they would be getting skelped with something sharp and heavy till I know for certain their not getting up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would you really run for a bread knife if you heard a disturbance in your daughters bedroom or run upstairs first? Bearing in mind it could be anything? Grabbing a weapon would only enter my mind if I already had assessed the threat. Prior to that surely the priority is getting to your daughter quickly. I think it's all very well us lot passing judgement now. At the time her old man only knew that something was suspicious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
